Huh! The sig from Tapatalk looks like nothing. I’ll have to check the device. ---

I have never seen sigs when reading via tapatalk. I didn’t even think it was an option. ---

What does Tapatalk offer that a mobile browser doesn’t? I bypass the ‘mobile’ page on most sites and use what they call the desktop version just fine. ---

Mainly it’s a lot cleaner and threads load much faster. Also any image URLs that have been added to a thread appear as actual images in the post, you know, the way a forum should work. The downside is no vbulletin tag buttons, so you have to do bolding, quoting and similar stuff by manually creating the tags ---

Tapatalk sig is disabled at the forum level. ---
